2026 Annual Meeting of the Miracle_Q Project

On Tuesday, May 26, 2026, the Miracle_Q project of the PEPR Quantum held its annual meeting at the ENS in Paris. The event brought together around forty participants and provided an opportunity for project members to present their recent work and findings. Talks were also given by members of other PEPR projects collaborating with Miracle_Q.

Miracle_Q is led by Matthieu Delbecq, a professor and researcher at Sorbonne University at the ENS Physics Laboratory (LPENS). Its goal is to manufacture, validate and test the elementary module of a new quantum computer platform.

A day of scientific presentations
